We are a Small and new Machine shop in Central Virginia. I would like
help on two things.
First, How do you go about getting work from companies? It seems that
they have their shops they work with and are content with them.
Second, How you go about finding a good sales rep for a small shop
with 3 people in it? We have some nice equipment; Two Fanuc Wire
machines; Hansvedt Ram EDM, Two ProtoTracks and a new 14 tool CNC.
We have the talent but finding the work is the problem.
Andy suggestions or even work would be helpful.

I have heard great things about http://www.mfgquote.com/ but have not used
them. Our product is somewhat incompatible... But a machine shop nearby
swears by them.

As for finding a sales rep... Do you have a web site? Literautre?

Yes we have a simple web page. It is located in my profile. As for
http://www.mfgquote.com/ I have heard of it and looked it over. But
for a new small shop the $5,000.00 a year cost to join it is just out
of our reach.

Oh... $5k is a lot.... Hmm.... I can 100% tell you that the paper
advertising methods don't work for us. Neither do trade shows... But to
each business a different model may work.

As for your profile... Can you point me to this profile so io may view it?
